Transfer targets

Bayern Munich rebuffed over Jamie Leweling

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. VfB Stuttgart have kept their man, and Bayern Munich go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Boardroom

The ground is getting bigger

The plans are signed off at a capacity of 104529. Decisions like this are judged twenty years later, by people who were not in the room when they were taken.

Squad

Magnus Dalpiaz out for 16 days

The medical room confirms 16 days on the sidelines for Magnus Dalpiaz, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Ralf Haas signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Ralf Haas and Bayern Munich agree another 3 years.

Market

Luis Díaz linked with a move away

The name of Luis Díaz keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Bayern Munich say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout

Ralf Haas asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

Bayern Munich pay AS Roma $47.6M for a proper upgrade

AS Roma did not want to sell and the number is why they did. $47.6M for Mile Svilar, and the expectation that arrives with him is the kind no amount of settling-in period softens.

Transfer targets

Bayern Munich rebuffed over Vangelis Pavlidis

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Benfica have kept their man, and Bayern Munich go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

Mile Svilar gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Mile Svilar has just signed for Bayern Munich, and for once the answer mattered.

Market

Michael Olise linked with a move away

The name of Michael Olise keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Bayern Munich say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad

Mile Svilar still has not settled

A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at Bayern Munich would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.

Squad

Somebody is after Manuel Neuer’s shirt

A new face in his position, and Manuel Neuer suddenly has to win back what he thought he owned. Bayern Munich have promised nothing — clubs rarely do at this stage.

Market

Sven Ulreich placed on the list

Bayern Munich have made Sven Ulreich available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

The dugout

Ralf Haas knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Ralf Haas trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market

Sven Ulreich's agent talks up a move

“He is at an age where he has to be playing at the top level. We will listen to anybody.” The representative of Sven Ulreich is not being subtle.

Transfer targets

$47.6M settles it between the clubs for Mile Svilar

AS Roma have accepted the money. What Bayern Munich do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Vinícius Júnior

Bayern Munich asked and Real Madrid said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Transfer targets

Bayern Munich bid $21.1M for Kaishu Sano

The offer went to Mainz 05 this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Market

Joshua Kimmich wants more than Bayern Munich are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Boardroom

Bayern Munich go back to the board over Kaishu Sano

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $19.3M — a club that wants Kaishu Sano enough to be asked twice.

The dugout

Michael Olise gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market

One of our own: Oliver Fischer joins the Bayern Munich first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Oliver Fischer is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Ralf Haas steps up from the Bayern Munich academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Ralf Haas has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

One of our own: Patrick Hartmann joins the Bayern Munich first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Patrick Hartmann is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
